Personal Reminiscences of Abraham Lincoln by Shaw
The Ethical club's program featured George W. Shaw presenting reminiscences of Lincoln drawn from over thirty years of association. Shaw portrayed Lincoln's wisdom, courage, and courtesy, including his stance toward enemies and the famous line about malice toward none and charity for all. The talk highlighted Lincoln's central focus on slavery and noted the lingering impact of Shaw's readings as a fitting tribute before concluding with announcements for upcoming papers.
